If I use SOG with NJ can I rescue my own Ls? The new ruling says you can't rescue your own Ls, however NJ says rescues ANY Ls in play.

Thanks! Now I will take NJ out of my deck and replace it with Mayhem.

Why not? I hardly ever get SoG with NJ. Plus my deck is 63 cards so the likelihood of it happening is small.

NJ gives you a free soul.  If you can play it with SoG, there is nothing that your opponent can do to stop it.  Just SoG by itself gets you 20% of the way to victory (T1 obviously) - adding NJ to the play gets you 40% of the way there.  No other two-card combo guarantees you anywhere near that much in terms of actually winning a game.  If the size of your deck is keeping you from pairing the two, and you want to more consistently win games, I would recommend trimming your deck size.  I'd write more about deckbuilding here, but that's kinda off topic for this sub-forum

As for the original question, Browarod is completely correct.

Thanks guys, that helps me a lot!
